Burdock

Yes, I know - I hate it too - but you cannot deny that the flowers are pretty!

It's the seed pods that get caught in everything, and are the very devil to take out.

I am linking this with Today's Flowers. Stop in and see what else is blooming around the world.

Burdock Has Its Uses

Winter Flowers

There are not a lot of flowers in winter,

but the frost sure livens up the ones I can find.

I am linking this with NF Blo-Ma.



Burdock Leaf

I caught a glimpse of the sun streaming through this burdock leaf, and had to crawl under a spruce tree to capture it.

I love the pattern in the veins of the leaf.

 

Shadows

There was enough sun for the weeds beside this fence

 to cast shadows today.

 It was so good to see the sun...

Burdock

Burdock is another pesky weed which is altogether too common around here.

 After the blossoms have finished, I am going to have to take the clippers out and cut down all the bushes in the areas where we usually walk, in self preservation.

 Otherwise, Annie will bring home all the burrs, a few dozen at a time, the whole winter.
